Cincon Releases CQB150W8 Series, New 150W Quarter Brick Size 8:1 Ultra-wide Input Range DC-DC Converter

by Jenny Olding | 27th Feb 2025

Introducing the CQB150W8 series, a high-performance 8:1 ultra-wide input DC-DC converter delivering 150W of regulated power. Designed in a compact quarter-brick size (2.28″ x 1.45″ / 57.8 x 36.8 mm), this series is IEC/UL 62368-1 certified and features 3000Vac reinforced isolation (input to output).

Exceptional Performance:

      The CQB150W8 series supports an extensive input voltage range of 9 to 75 VDC, covering common railway power system voltages. It achieves high efficiency of up to 91% and operates reliably in extreme conditions, with a wide case temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. Additionally, it supports high-altitude operation up to 5000m and boasts an MTBF of up to 945k hours.

Comprehensive protection:

      Robust safety measures include input UVLO, output over-current/voltage protection, over-temperature safeguards, and continuous short-circuit protection. With certifications such as IEC/UL 62368-1, EN 50155 (with external circuits), and EN 45545-2, the series meets critical railway standards. It also satisfies the interruption of voltage supply Class S3 and voltage change-over Class C2 requirements based on Cincon-referenced circuitry.

Applications:

      Ideal for numerous railway systems—including signal, TCMS, communication, door, display, and broadcasting systems—the CQB150W8 series is also perfect for industrial and ITE applications. These include telecom devices, automation equipment, test and measurement instruments, power management solutions, industrial control systems, and more.
